Real Time With Bill Maher: 'Bill Maher On Occupy Wall Street'

"One would think that the anti-corporatist ideals of the Occupy Wall Street movement would receive some safe harbor on Real Time with Bill Maher, and one would be correct that their ideology gelled entirely with the audience. But before Alan Grayson passionately stood up as a spokesman for their cause, the panel spent a fair amount of time mocking the group ruthlessly, for their “bongo drums,” disorganization, and incoherence.

“The don’t really have a coherent message,” Maher noted, with P.J. O’Rourke laughing beside him through an Occupy Wall Street bashing session about how useless their bongo drums are and how they don’t have bathrooms (that latter complaint from panelist Nicolle Wallace, who noted that it was “the logistics of the protest that bother me”). Maher, on his end, was just dismayed at the lack of marketing ability– “the Teabaggers named themselves after a gay sex act,” he joked, “but at least that was catchy.”

"New Rules - on Occupy Wall Street. Bill shows the world the variety of people in the global occupation movement."

If Bill Maher is arguing that today's Occupy Wall Street is not the political Hippie movement from the 1960s and 70s, he has a point. Silent and Baby Boom Generation Hippies didn't have smartphones, laptops, Starbucks, social media, so-called reality TV, MSNBC talk, or perhaps even cool politicians. So maybe today's Occupy Wall Street which is the Millennial Generation version of the New-Left, but perhaps less violent, are the sons and daughters, as well as grandchildren of the the 1960s and 70s political Hippies.
